{Video} The Death of the Hired Man by Robert Frost

This one is a poem, granted, but the way Frost uses his poetic techniques, it comes off very much like a story–and yet still manages to have the intimacy and poignancy that good poetry does. I find the way Frost can do that pretty fascinating, and it’s a thing where it seems like he’s writing very simple poems but they actually pack a lot of potency. He “makes it look easy” as they say about great athletes. Pretty cool.﻿

For this video, I collaborated with an actress because I thought it was appropriate for the project and also that it would be fun. Although editing was hell, I think it turned out OK.
